Remove API Token recommendation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Users keep asking support where did the API token go. I removed this
part to stop new users who set up git from contacting us about this.

2. <span class="step-title">Set your GitHub token.</span>

Some tools connect to GitHub without SSH. To use these tools properly you need to find and configure your API Token.

On the GitHub site _Click &ldquo;Account Settings&rdquo;_

<img src="/images/bootcamp/bootcamp_1_token.jpg" width="558" height="245" alt="Copy your API token" />

At the command line run the following code, using your GitHub username and token in place of the ones shown.

<pre class="terminal bootcamp">
<span class="codeline">$ git config --global github.user <em>username</em><span>Sets the GitHub username for all git instances on the system</span></span>
<span class="codeline">$ git config --global github.token <em>0123456789yourf0123456789token</em><span>Sets the GitHub token for all git instances on the system</span></span>
</pre>

__&#42;Note&#42;__ If you ever change your GitHub password, a new token will be created and will need to be updated.
